p_mac Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I have a screen record of the entire process described here if you wish me to post it. RAW image, duplicate and edit in Photo to reduce saturation to B/W. AP - B/W image - import from Photo, loads the unedited RAW image into the Develop Persona AP - B/W image - drag and drop from Photo, loads the Photo edited image into the Photo Persona This process has not been fixed from the last betas. Is this the way that this process should be working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you initially open and develop a raw file, the sandboxed version is linked to the original raw file. Reopening the raw simply 'triggers' the sandbox version (developed) to open. Drag and drop emulates the open procedure. Import opens a 'new' copy of the raw file creating a new sandboxed copy. p_mac 1 M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Is this the way that this process should be working? This is working as intended. This is an IOS/iPadOS issue, photos always maintains the original RAW image in the cloud plus a delta modifications file but on your device you are presented with an optimised JPG version. Drag and drop uses the share method which is always the JPG version of the file. i.e. the original file plus modifications done in photo. The Import method however requests the original (unedited) file. This gives us the best of both worlds as we have both options without having to perform an export unmodified image from Photos first. It also means the duplicate first step is entirely unnecessary.

p_mac Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Thanks to DM1 and particularly to Paul Mudditt for the reference to the article written by the developer of RAW Power. I duplicated the image to show the two different scenarios. It would seem that this issue should have been highlighted by the developers as I have put this issue on the boards three times and finally have an answer. It is not that I do any editing in Photos but it seems like something that users should know how to handle. Edited March 14, 2020 by p_mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
